    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Get an 8-point 1/2" drive socket and use just the first extension of the OEM jack handle (with the hook) with an impact and it makes the OEM jack a joy to use. I keep my socket stuck to the jack using a coin battery sized magnet so I don't lose it. I just store the impact in the truck now and...

    So sad to hear about the mess! Definitely fight the insurance on that. Joey @ Absolute Wit's End is only about 2.5 hours away from you.

    I accidentally zoomed into this pic on my phone and saw a very surprised look on that bracket....and now I can't unsee it. :D

    I'd cut a narrow section of aluminum to act as a backer and mix up some JB Weld to slather on the break and the backer-to-plastic areas. Fixed my broken upper door panel plastic that way and it's stronger than ever. It may not be pretty but it will be fixed. :hillbilly:

    Kelly has many options for the grille insert. I wanted maximum airflow and planned to put 2x 7" lights in there as well so I went with the large hexagon design with the Lexus "L". When I received the grille, the L is actually solid in the pattern of hexagons and it came with a separate cut out...

    Good time to tap that upper oil pan for an oil return line in case you want to put a turbo on later...

    Had a blast wheeling with the guys from Appalachia Cruisers at Windrock where I met some of the guys participating in the 6th Annual 70 Series run. I should obtain a boat license given all the water we dealt with yesterday. :) had a chance to assist with a knuckle stud shear situation (good...

    Well son of a gun...I'll move the truck and crawl under there tomorrow. Too much crusted crap there to feel them clearly. Thanks a bunch!!

    Really? Where are they? I searched a lot and only found notes about a slit in the 2 halves of the pinch weld. The rear are proper tubes out to the ground but the front apparently terminate in the inner wall in the kick panel area.

    After 9+ years of ownership, I finally understand what the Sunroof Drain Problem is . Moved to TN 6 weeks ago and after 9" of rain last week and 5" of rain this week my drivers floor and seat are soaked (mental note...don't park nose down to the left) :rolleyes:. Why did Mr. T drain it into the...

    Finally gave the 80 some love and replaced the front Icon Stage 1 shocks. Driver has been leaking for a while. I recalled it being a nightmare but I'm sure I remembered it wrong and was being silly....after I put the grinder down, I think maybe I did remember it correctly. Whoever the ass hat...

    Similar to last week but this time I opened the hatch, turned the fridge off then closed the hatch and locked it again. Whew, what fun I've had during COVID-19. I should post pics. At least my tires are lasting longer this year. :cool:

    I firmly believe the secret is VERY soft pedal presses just like you're braking. No severe pumping or anything like that. Triggering the ABS is tricky but if you're not part-time, should be easy to just drop 2x wheels onto dirt and smash the brakes. There's a thread about shorting out the...
